Ingredients

  • 300 g coarsely chopped, lean beef from the stomach or back
  • 150 g Pancetta (pork bacon)
  • 50 g Carrot finely diced
  • 50 g Celery stalks finely diced
  • 50 g Onion finely diced
  • 300 g San Marzano tomatoes peeled
  • 100 ml Red wine
  • 100 ml Whole milk
  • 100 ml Vegetable broth
  • Olive oil or butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • possibly a dash of cream depending on the pasta used

Instructions

  • Sauté the finely diced pancetta in a large pan.
  • Add 3 tablespoons of oil or 50 grams of butter and the finely chopped vegetables (onion, celery and carrot).
  • Then add the minced beef, sear and stir.
  • Now deglaze with red wine and stir until it evaporates.
  • Now add the peeled tomatoes and vegetable stock, cover and simmer the ragù for approx. 2 hours.
  • Just before the ragù (sauce) is ready, add the milk and season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • The Accademia Italiana della Cucina recommends:
    "At the end, when the ragù is ready, you usually add a little cream if you are using dried pasta. With fresh tagliatelle, the cream is left out."
